Just seen pic of light not sure what those are but I bet 7cm is to close and causing part of your issues
Why the first two true leaves dying

Most of those little LEDs have a clear or opaque cover on them too; mine does. No cover on that one so more light to the plant.

There is usually four kinds of bottled water. Straight from the tap, straight from the ground (could be spring or well), RO and RO with minerals added. They all get filtered and a ozone injection when filled. The ozone makes the initial water very reactive but this dissipates in a couple of days. The pure RO is something to avoid but if any nuets or other mineral added, negates the reactivity. The mineral they usually add is a bicarbonate, potassium or magnesium. Never sodium..... 
Worked at a water bottled for a few years.

A T5 should be as close as possible. The plants have to physically rest against the bulbs for them to burn.

it needs to dry out a lot...you can let it go for days as it sits now. i'd get a fan blowing towards it, but not directly on it, and move it as close to the light as you can without burning it. if all you've been giving it is bottled water, it's probably already been "flushed" enough.
you want to be able to stick your index finger into the soil up to the second knuckle and the soil should feel DRY...the pot should be very light, but the plant shouldn't be wilting. that's when you water, good enough to get just a little run off, which you want to get the pot out of, on a few stones or a brick or something like that. you don't want it to reabsorb that water, it will be full of depleted mineral salts from the last nutes you fed it

The red blue light is 18w and I have one I used to my old fishtank plus the plant take direct sunlight from 11 am to 5pm then goes under the light. The first set of leaves praying before 3-4 days but I thought that was a good sign.

I got a t5 that I start my seedling s under , I keep them 1cm away , so 20cm isn’t correct dude, no offence
Well the soil is moist up to second knuckle and down the bottom, I added some more perlite today.
The label says natural mineral water, suitable for a low sodium diet pH 7.6 and some more infoThere is usually four kinds of bottled water.

Just a typical lamp not for cannabis I bet, it's 18w 220v

That sounds like spring water. Or a fancy name for well water. Springs, they usually give you the source name. My well water is around 7.4-7.6. It's filtered though limestone as it soaks down.

Here’s a pic of my Led that I used for a few clone runs, 9 watts with a cover. I think it’s your light causing the messed up tips. 18 watts of led at 7cm was a lot for her to deal with so early. It’s probably hardened off to it now, that‘s why the new growth isn’t affected.

Do you have any idea what ppm/EC would be in his mineral water? I thought using that was a no no.
She also get the 11am-5pm direct sunlight before lights since sprout

The direct sunlight shouldn’t be an issue as long as the plant got hardened off to it. Direct sunlight is the best. That‘s probably why she didn’t burn up worse under that led. I personally think you’re good now. The new growth isn’t affected.
I'm putting outdoor when the sun is up, then I continue with 18watt lamp one 120w aquarium and maybe if survive put it under 2700k for flowering. It's my first time, it's more experimental so I don't aim for big harvest..
